Taylor Jenkins loves Jaylen Wells’ durability, consistency

Wells is an average of 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists at 36.9% shoot from 3-point range in 56 games. He is second in the rookie class in Total Scoring (629 points) and one of six players in the first year to score at least 30 points in one game this season.

The 39th Pick started 51 games for Jenkins and The Grizzlies, most of the rookie this season. He was recognized on the All-Star weekend with a selection for the game on the Rising Stars and is one of the leaders to win the Rookie of the Year Award.

“As a newcomer, I give him a lot of recognition, just a lot of consistency with his approach every day,” said Jenkins. “He was commissioned with many of the toughest matchups in the night in and night. I think mistakes, he corrects it pretty quickly.”
